Volkswagen's hot Golf history in pics

MkI GTI: Despite
being unveiled at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show, Brits had to wait two years to
get their hands on VW's 110bhp 1,588cc four-pot. The minuscule MkI only weighed 810kg, which meant it could hit 60mph
in nine seconds and reach 100mph. In '82 a 1781cc model joined the lineup.
